The top clamp has less ofset than the lower clamp. Its quite a common practice to increase trail depending on what the model is used for while retaining the same frame. Like an older airheads R80 RT, GS used the same frame with different forks and tripple clamps to change the characteristics of the bike. I think you will find the Ks have about 1.5deg more on the forks as to the frame steering head.K75cster wrote:in the drawing for the front forks it says 27.5 and 29 degrees how is that done? I understand ours to be 26.5 stock with 56mm offset from the center of the steering head stem to the center of the forks have they fabricated u a lower tripple tree? or both???
